Detail InformationEdit

Wrapped in an old world charm and still located on the bustling Library Road, Christ Church was built in the year 1836 for the increasing British community in that area. Said to be the oldest church in the entire Himalayan range, its major attraction is the pre-Raphaelite glass windows which represent the life of Jesus Christ in a very effective way. With its Gothic style architecture and colonial feel, this church takes you to the vintage era.One of the most prominent visitors of the church include the Princess of Wales who came here in 1906 and planted a Deodar sapling in the church yard. Today, a beautiful tree stands tall which acts as a memorabilia and is shown to the visitors. Then there is not-to-miss William Hill organ (in the Church itself) which dates back to more than 100 years.
